At least – that’s what some users are seeing. Right now it seems to be very hit-and-miss, but certain users are noting that the Play Store is indicating Now Launcher compatibility with handsets like the One M8, G3, and Galaxy S5. Then again, other users with those same devices aren’t having the same luck.

That could mean that Google is currently in the process of implementing these changes in availability, and not everyone’s seeing them go live all at the same time. There’s also the possibility that this is a glitch of some kind, and Google isn’t really intending to make the Now Launcher an option for additional smartphones, but until we hear otherwise, we’re optimistic that this really is the start of an official change.
